Answer 4

Not really, as they may have their own valid reasons for it.Moreover,nobody is smart enough to be always smart as also why should any smart person always carry the burden of being so and live up to other's expectations?Heartbreaking,for what?We should accept it as  a fact of life and grant them the freedom of their choices.Disappointment should be OK and permissible.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

it annoys me more than it breaks my heart, because they're basically lying, putting on an act. It annoys me when people think its endearing to act stupid- when it really isn't, and when they're so blatantly obvious. It is terrible that people feel they need to do that, the desperation of it. But then, i can't help thinking that they can't be that smart if they'll willingly do such ridiculous things.
